6. Do not use this equipment for other than its intended purpose.
7. Some equipment covered by these instructions are rated for remote heads. This equipment does not require a load fuse because its
sophisticated solid-state transfer switch is current limited. Check load rating of equipment to calculate remote capability. DO NOT
exceed TOTAL OUTPUT RATING of equipment. TRANSFER CIRCUIT will automatically shut down if overloaded.

BATTERY
Step 1. De-energize the circuit at the junction box (J-box) where the
emergency fixture is to be installed.
Step 2. Remove Cover from Mounting Base by depressing two snap
latches on each side of Cover. (See Fig. 1)
Step 3. For wall mounting to an outlet box knock out or cut out the
appropriate mounting pattern on the mounting base to fit the
J-box being used. Orient mounting base with the arrow
pointing up. Route wires through the wire access hole and
securely fasten the mounting plate to the J-box with screws
and washers.

SNAP LATCH
Note: Use fasteners with a minimum pullout rating of 20 pounds.
Step 4. For conduit entry, knock out or drill out the 7/8 K.O. in Mounting
Base to accept the conduit fitting. No rigid conduit.
Step 5. Connect power supply accordance with local codes. Wire connections as follows: 277V line to Orange lead; 120V line to Black lead;
Neutral to white lead. Cap unused line lead. (See Figure 2)
Step 6. Insert the supply wires (strip length 3/8") into the appropriate push in connector on the transformer leads, see schematic for details.
Step 7. Connect the battery using the red and blue lead originating from the circuit board. (Red lead to the "+" positive terminal, Blue to the "-"
negative terminal.) Check connections for correct polarity and secure battery onto mounting shelf with Velcro mounting strap.
Step 8. Connect Lamp Head Plug and Connector together. Hang cover by inserting tabs onto mounting base and pivoting cover onto snap latches
locking cover in place. Check installation by gently pulling on cover to ensure it is securely held in place.
Step 9. Turn on the AC supply and allow to charge for at least 48 continuous hours before activating the test button. The DC lamps will turn on for
approx. 30 seconds when the test switch is depressed. Also this unit is equipped with a photocell and can be tested with Sure-lites LASER
pointer by aiming the laser red dot on the hole labeled LASER TEST. The DC lamps will turn on and remain on approximately 30 seconds.
Note: Minor position adjustment of sensor may be required if mounted in locations with high ambient light.
Step 10. Adjust the lamp heads to the desired position

OPERATION:
The diagnostic LED indicator near the test switch indicates the status of the unit. If the unit is operating under battery power
(either in the emergency mode or a battery capacity test) the indicator will turn off. When the unit is fully charged and in a float
charge condition, the indicator will be on steady. If the unit is fast charging the LED will blink. If the battery has failed a capacity
test by becoming over discharged during the test, or if the battery is not connected after 15 minutes of operation, the LED will
double blink then repeat the double blink.
The unit will automatically test the battery capacity every thirty days for 30 seconds. It will perform a full battery capacity
test for 90 minutes, randomly within each 6 month period. The unit monitors the condition of the circuit board. If the battery
charger circuit fails, then a circuit failure will be indicated blinking three times. If one or both lamps fail, the diagnostic LED will
indicate a lamp failure by blinking four times.
NOTE: This equipment is furnished with a sophisticated low voltage battery dropout circuit to protect the battery from over
discharge after its useful output has been used. Allow 48 hours recharge time after installation or power failure for full load
testing.
When the unit is first turned on under AC power, the unit will continue to charge for up to 48 hours. The emergency mode can
be manually tested for 30 seconds by momentarily pressing the test switch. Operation under battery power can be tested in
this way at any time, however, it is recommended that the test be performed only when the unit is in the float charge condition.
While the battery power will be used when the test button is pressed, it will only test the battery capacity when it is fully
charged in the float condition. This feature prevents the unit from indicating a false battery capacity failure which could happen
if the battery is not fully charged and its capacity is tested.
MAINTENANCE:
None required. Replace the batteries every 10 to 15 years according to ambient, however, we recommend that the
equipment be tested regularly in accordance with local codes.
NOTE:
Servicing of any parts should be performed by qualified personnel. ONLY use replacement parts and batteries supplied by
Sure-Lites. For replacement lamps, battery, or PC board see the fixture label.
TROUBLE SHOOTING HINTS:
EMERGENCY LAMPS DO NOT COME ON - DIAGNOSTIC L.E.D. OUT BEFORE TEST
1. Check AC supply - Be sure unit has continuous 48 hour AC supply.
2. AC supply on - DIAGNOSTIC L.E.D. out. Replace the charge circuit.
3. DIAGNOSTIC L.E.D. on - lamps do not light. Either the output is shorted or overloaded,
or the battery is not connected.
EMERGENCY LAMPS COME ON DIM
1. Battery discharged - Permit unit to continuously charge for 48 hours and then re-test. If lamps are
still dim, check the charger for charge function. If functioning properly, replace the battery.
2. Remote lamps are dim - Check wire size to remote lamps against a wire size chart.
If following the above trouble shooting hints does not solve your problem, contact your local Sure-Lites representative or the factory for assistance.
